Critical Care Department

Our critical care department treats both cases that come in to our hospital as emergencies and patients that are referred to us by area veterinarians for advance diagnostics and intensive hospitalization and nursing care. This service is provided by our residency trained emergency/critical care doctors.

Our facility is designed specifically to provide this service. All of our cages are visible from our centrally located treatment arena. All cage banks are provided with central oxygen and suction, and with both fluid and infusion pumps. The ICU area is equipped with two environmental cage banks and remote, 6 mode patient monitoring. Additional monitoring includes both invasive and non invasive blood pressure monitors as well as standard ECG units. The treatment arena also communicates directly with our fully equipped laboratory, imaging department and surgical suites.This service is supervized by our Chief of Staff, Dr. Lou DelGiudice.

All of this is geared to supplement your daytime veterinarian by ensuring that your pet receives the best of intensive care 24 hours per day, and 7 days per week. We are always available for emergencies, but we encourage you to contact your regular veterinarian first. We are not partnered with any daytime practice, and we maintain a non competitive relationship with all of the daytime hospitals, so that we can provide the best, most consistant care to your pet.
